The Life of Muhammad

The Publisher’s Preface

Reviewing the history of the past teaches man how to live, how to die, and how to be immortal. The studying of the lives of the great people in History especially religious personalities at the head of whom and at the top of the pyramid are the prophets, the righteous saints, and the guided and guiding infallible imams, takes humanity to the best of fruits and greatest of results; worldly and afterworldly. Besides, that scientific and practical experiments and the studying of biographies have proved that those who followed this way got to their destination sooner and obtained the happiness of the Two Abodes; this life and the afterlife.

Since our duty requires us to enliven the biographies of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) and with the assistance that Allah the Almighty has given to us in this way, the Ansariyan Publications has undertaken the translation, from Arabic to English, of the series of the lives of the Fourteen Infallibles; the Prophet, Fatima, Imam Ali, and their eleven infallible sons (peace be on them all), written by Allama Sheikh Baqir Shareef al-Qurashi…this series that may be unequalled in this concern. Besides the translation, we have printed, and published this precious series, hoping from Allah the Almighty to make it a true step in the path of fulfilling our religious duties one of which is the reviving of the holy lives of our infallible leaders…praying Allah to reward us all with the best of His reward.
